Marsaskala (Marsascala, M'skala, M'scala)

Marsaskala is a seaside village situated on the south east coast of Malta. The dive sites in M’skala are located around Zonqor Point peninsula on the north side of the entrance to Marsaskala Bay. There are a number of diving sites in this area, including tugboat wrecks St. Michael and Tug 10 on the south coast of of Zonqor Point, various reefs, and Mini Blue Hole a bit farther on the north side of the point. St. Michael and 10 were scuttled on 16th May 1998 to create an artificial reef for scuba diving.

Marsaskala is protected from the prevailing north-westerly winds, and when other areas on the north and west coasts of Malta are not divable due to bad weather conditions, the sea is nice and calm at Zonqor Point. This is also a good place for training or second dive, although visibility in Marsaskala Bay is not as good as other parts of the Maltese islands.

Parking, public toilets, dive centre, kiosks, cafes, restaurants (some open only in summertime) available at Zonqor Point. There is also a large outdoor swimming pool (formerly the National Swimming Pool Complex).
